A Chef’s Knife
You may already have a knife set from when you moved into your first home, or registered for that wedding. But a multipurpose chef’s knife is one of our must-have kitchen tools. Take extra care with these by hand-washing and sharpening regularly.

A Dutch Oven
Craving some coq au vin or braised short ribs? You’ll need a great dutch oven in your kitchen arsenal and for that, we have to recommend a classic Le Creuset. This oven-to-table cookware is classic for a reason, and we love that there are a variety of fun colors to choose from.

An Immersion Blender
Whether or not you need a large blender or stand mixer is a personal preference, but an immersion blender is a handy tool anyone can use in the kitchen. From thickening sauces and making purées to quickly blending a soup right in a pot, you’ll find plenty of uses for that immersion blender.
